Re: BNE-SYD-LAX-BNE VA Y US$266 on Orbitz [gone] Oh C'mon. Everyone bar Santa Claus has been blamed here for what is a simple and easily avoidable error that even the newest travellers manage to avoid. The responsibility lies only with you John, and attempting to shift blame to others is quite...

That is the man formerly known as "Boss Reggie" or "Shaun Bryan". Some people have previously questioned his statements about his travel. A google search of his name brings up things about his background that are a little different to what he claims.

Just tried to upgrade Flexi fare BNE-CNS-BNE & there was no Z class available. The lady I spoke to at the call centre advised that as of today, I can "waitlist" for an upgrade. (Which I did) They will advise via text if successful as late as 4 hours prior to flight. The loading of my flights...

Mrs F & I both got 1000+ SCs flying J BNE-LAX-JFK-LAX-SFO-LAX-SYD-BNE on a double status credit offer (for the VA flights) 18 months ago. Did it in under 3 weeks. I have the screenshots of this somewhere.

Multiple flights in J to LAX from BNE in the last couple of years and I am kinda mystified as to some of the issues mentioned. I like the seat a lot. Way better than the skybed for comfort. 60+ inches of pitch means no issues with cramp, better still row 5 is the ultimate in privacy. I rate the...

I fly VA J to lax every 6 months or so and have only ever sat in row 5. i prefer it due to its privacy, quietness & space. Having the curtain pulled over makes for a great sleep. The caveats are if you are travelling by yourself, you may be seated next to someone you don't know and that can be...

I dropped off the car on Friday afternoon to the rotunda (under the Lounge) on Friday afternoon & was advised I had to go to Level 4 in the short term carpark to pick it up. OK, it's because renovations are taking place to build the new Premium Lounge entry. I was walked from the new Valet...

MrsF Flew back on XFB overnight in J from PER-BNE yesterday. We knew to ask for a R/H side seat, but it seems so does everyone else. Failure of the IFE is expected, failure of the ovens is expected, failure of the seat is expected. I know that a bad "J" experience is still better than a good...

Double points for me.....

Re: Upgrades from Saver I sent an email to VA last night asking some questions about the cancellation policy and got this reply.... "Dear Mr IainF Thank you for your email to Neil Thompson. The new upgrade cancellation and amendment policy only relates to the upgrade. The fare conditions...

Re: Upgrades from Saver Nice pickup. This must have changed in the last 24 hours.

I was a QF Plat (and AA Exec Plat) for a number of years. I never felt I was a valued customer on QF. AA, BA & CX gave me far better treatment. MrsF started flying DJ (VA) and loved it so I swapped. I haven't looked back. One of the most interesting things about JB is that he will reply to...

PER-SYD on an A330 is best J class in Australia right now. Far better than anything QF is offering and far cheaper. The only exception to this is the ex Emirates planes XFAwful & XFBroken. Someone with more knowledge than me may know their current routes/whereabouts....

Let us know if you are successful !
